Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a traditional North American holiday, and is a form of harvest festival. The date and whereabouts of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida[1][2], the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621.
Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members.
in the usa it's tomorrow november 27th always on the 4th thursday of november each year.

They're mostly right! Thanksgiving Day is this coming Thursday, tomorrow for that matter, the 27th. It's a day that has been passed down through history in this country, and in others as well, wherein you give thanks for the blessings or good things you have in life. Sometimes it's only a meal for the poor and hungry, sometimes it's for everything you have and all the money you have, all the friends you have, especially among the wealthy.
